Define the following terms :
(i) Pseudo first order reaction
(ii) Half life period of a reaction `(t_(½))`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(i) Pseudo first order reaction : The reaction which appears to be of second order but follows first order kinetics is called pseudo first order reaction.
(ii) Hald-life period of a reaction : Half life period of a reaction is the time in which the concentration of a reactant is reduced to half of its initial concentration.
